Hi Desura community! :)

I'm proud to announce that the full version of my game "Rico - A Tale Of Two Brothers" is finally released! It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux. And if you like to play on a mobile device, there's an Android version too!

Rico - A Tale Of Two Brothers is a retro inspired platformer that mixes elements from many great classics like Pitfall, Super Mario, Castlevania and Knytt with my own humble ideas. A game with a nostalgic feeling while still staying fresh. I wanted to create something I would have loved to play as a child and still love to play now!


Rico features 32 levels, boss battles, collectible crystals, numerous different enemies and traps, 4 difficulty levels  and a catchy chiptune soundtrack by Bunnymajs!

If you're interested, head over to the Desura page to get it! There's also a demo version that lets you play the first 8 levels including the first boss fight for free, so why not try it out? :)

Thanks for your time!

There is no standalone Windows installer. You'll need to use the Desura client, unfortunately. I provide a Mac standalone installer because there is no Desura client there.

Out of curiosity, why? Frankly, that's just a reason for me to not get this game, as I don't want to use the client, and hardly any other games on desura require it.

The reason is I can push out updates easier and players will receive bugfixes (almost) automatically.
But... if you're not a fan of the Desura client, just download the standalone Mac version. It contains a runnable JAR file that can be run on Windows (and Linux) as well. Double clicking it should be enough. Just make sure you have Java installed. :)

Thanks for the quick response. I've already found a way to solve this. I just downloaded the Game through the Desura client and then removed the files from it.

Und im übrigen, ein wirklich genialer Platformer!
Ich mag diese einfache und doch sehr charmante Oldschool Grafik. Inspiriert mich vielleicht selber mal ein Platformer zu entwickeln ^__^

Hmmm... that's the "beauty" of Android fragmentation. Devices that are not the norm like the Xperia Play (due to its sliding cover) sometimes behave weirdly whereas all other devices work just fine... I'll look into it!

Oh one more thing, I just realized that the Sqaure button works for attacking.
X and O work as enter and back keys but the Sqaure button and others use unique key codes. Kinda odd if that works without it being done on purpose but perhaps there are other devices with the same key codes? Just curious if that is by mistake or you had programed that in? Never seen the buttons work without being specially coded in first.

Yeah, I *tried* to make it work as best as I can! I looked at the specifications for the Xperia Play and implemented the proper keycodes. Then I prayed it would work, given I had no device to test it on. :)

Thanks for thinking of us Xperia Play users, button setup works xD
If you make an update, think about binding that start button too, its just handy, the corner onscreen button works well as is too.
